New York’s Ra Ra Riot are set to drop a new album titled Beta Love, after their beloved 2010 sophomore release The Orchard, on January 22nd via Barsuk, and though they haven’t shared any cuts from it, we’re still pretty excited.
Beta Love marks the bands first record since Alexandra Lawn left the band and was produced by Dennis Herring. They’ll be in Toronto on March 6th headlining a show at Lee’s Palace and continue to tour through 2012 with Passion Pit, Guards, and Vampire Weekend.
